Game Thread: Hornets @ Raptors

aminu's shot is an embarrassment to the game of basketball

Gordon is probably hurting somewhere which is probably why he isn't having a good game. That's unbelievable to some people, I know.

Lopez with all ball... Rudy Gay to the line... sigh.

A guy not having a good game when he's hurting though? Impossible. Put your pipe down E.

Cuz he's trying to diminish his trade value because he loves and wants to stay with the Pelicans so much. Didn't you know? :rolleyes:

You put yours down first! Gordon can't be hurt. He's the Ironman!

Finally, I agree Joel

Classic Rudy right there.

Obviously your pipe is better than mine. :hihi:

If Gay is going to guard Gordon you need to put Smith in the game and let him lay one on him in the pick and roll.

Gay will stop trying after that, guaranteed.

Lopez is kind of a klutz

Gordon REALLY isn't healthy. He used to be able to catch that kinda lead pass.

ridiculous pass by vazquez

This was probably Gordon's last dunk.

Rivers, pick up where you left off.

Vasquez w/ a nice blow-by

I don't think it has anything to do with him not being healthy, but everything to do with him not having his explosion and athleticism back yet.

We see it in spurts, but it's never there for an entire game.

Semantics.

Straight up and down, Rivers. Straight up and down.

They should just take the 3 second rule out of the game. It is never called. And if it is it is truly like 5-6 seconds.

hey refs... remember when Lopez did that exact same thing and no foul was called?

I'd put money on that's when he hurt his back.

You may very well be right.

Who's going to be the catalyst and start scoring? I say Ryno.

RYNO FOR 33333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There we go.

Good ol' New York press. I was fooled into thinking Landry Fields was competent.

Jason Smith has been excellent on D

Davis might not be having a good game but he's still our highest rebounder at this point. Someone else needs to grab the boards. Where is our guy that wants to be a double digit rebounder?

Soon, Rivers will fully grasp changing gears. He's sort of got it, but not completely.

When Rivers acclimates, he's gonna be one crafty, cagey player.

Still down by just 3. We got this.

Down 3 at the end of the quarter again. Whatcha gonna do Hornets?

ok... got it back to 3 again... now just need to win the 4th by at least 4 pts

I'm beginning to think he may turn into a player similar to Kirk Heinrich (sp?).

You're not going to get many rebounds when both teams shoot 50%.

Question of the night: Does davis play in the 4th quarter?

I vote NO!

Still haven't put your pipe down I see. You know good and doggone well the verdict is already out on Rivers and he'll never acclimate to anything at the NBA level.

True.

Rivers d has been solid tonight. He's had a really solid game so far.

Rivers playing well on both ends of the floor.

Why cant we freakin rebound?

ROBERTS ANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDD 111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roberts isn't a bad backup when his shot is falling. Still think he is a better 2 guard than point.

if lucas isn't the MVP of this league, then im just not sure what to say

Really don't like how many dribble handoffs we do. Always in the same spots too.

Anderson/Gordon/Mason will need to save us tonight.
